About TCLT

Initiated by Hamilton College in 2000, Technology and Chinese Language Teaching aims to bridge the gap between technology and teaching methodology and curriculum as well as to enhance the exchange of technology-based Chinese language learning and instruction. The combination of in-depth panel discussions and hands-on workshops on up-to-date technologies on Chinese language teaching is a hallmark of this biennial conference. Over the past 14 years, more than 200 institutions from 17 countries and regions have sent hundreds of professionals to join TCLT. To further the exchange and discussions on technology and Chinese language teaching, TCLT launched its peer-reviewed on-line Journal of Technology and Chinese Language Teaching in 2010 and started the publication of the Series of U.S. Technology and Chinese Language Teaching (《美国科技与中文教学》, 中国社会科学出版社) in 2012.
